CALIOP Version 3 Data Products: A Comparison to Version 2
Abstract
After launch we discovered that the CALIOP daytime measurements were subject to thermally induced beamdrift,and this caused the calibration to vary by as much as 30% during the course of a single daytime orbit segment. Using an algorithm developed by Powell et al.(2010), empirically derived correction factors are now computed in near realtime as a function of orbit elapsed time, and these are used to compensate for the beam wandering effects.
